to both personnel and equipment. After due consideration,
therefore, the Company has decided to postpone operations
in the open waters to the North of Bahrein (Locations "B",

letter No. C/PA-247 dated 13th May, 1946) until more
favourable weather conditions prevail. $. 2-^-
However, inasmuch as equipment and personnel are
available and in order to avoid delays in their exploration
work as set forth in Article V of the Deed of Further

that work shall start immediately on the drilling of Structure

Geological information from location "J" shown on
